Robert Skeens, president of the Harrison County Food Pantry Board, cuts the ribbon opening the new location of the food distribution center on North 25th Street. The Bethany Chamber of Commerce sponsored the ceremony on Nov. 24. The food pantry previously had operated in the Bethany Multi-Purpose Center, which plans to relocate to the former RLDS Church. After the food pantry’s lease ran out, local businessman Richard Easton offered the new location in the former Body Shop building. Volunteers remodeled the building and installed freezers, shelves and counters to get ready for its opening earlier in the month.
